The eye is one of the significant special sensory organs that is responsible for vision. Through observation, we handled a cow’s eye and discerned our findings to our knowledge of a human’s eye. A cow’s eye has similarities, such as the overall layers of the eye like the sclera, choroid, and retina layer, to that of a human’s eye. Also the structures and organs contained within these layers. Also, we discovered many other anatomical structures that are much the same to a human's eye during the…

Pop filters When recording vocalists, you will most definitely need to place a pop filter between the singer and vocal mic. A pop filter will cut down on the mini-explosions of air that happen when a singer says “B” or “P”. Don’t ever leave this job for a compressor down the line. Pop filters also serve the secret purpose of blocking all spit spray from reaching your prized vocal mic. It is not uncommon to find studios stacking two pop filters depending on the singers style. Here are a couple of…

you to consider. To clarify some of your questions, the abbreviation of dB stands for decibels, which is how acoustic power is measured. Since the human ear can’t hear all the sounds that may be measured by a sound level meter or dosimeter, we will often add weighting, called A-weighting, to relate the results more accurately to the human ear. When dBs are averaged among the hours of an employee’s 8-hour workday, we call it the 8-hour time-weighted average. We can also calculate a time-weighted…

Questions from Lin et al. (2013) 1. Describe the methods by answering the questions below. a. Who did they study? 1984 older adults (mean age, 77.4) without prevalent cognitive impairment b. What did they measure? They measured the relationship between cognitive decline and hearing loss over time. c. How did they form their groups at baseline? Baseline for this study was a “cohort consisted of participants without prevalent cognitive impairment who underwent audiometric testing…

In this passage, Julian Henriques, the author of Sonic Bodies: Reggae Sound Systems, Performance Techniques, and Ways of Knowing, main idea was to open the reader’s mind to the fact that there are several different forms of sound that can be taken into different contexts. He describes how sound effects not only your auditory system, but the other senses as well. Your body becomes a part of the sound such as you can feel the vibrations within your cells from the music or sound. No matter what you…

intermittent rustling of paper. These sounds are familiar in every classroom across the country and it is very easy to block out noises and concentrate on the task at hand, unless someone were to have misophonia. I was fine in this setting until my traitorous ears pinpointed my trigger noise out of the room. A person without Misophonia would have just dismissed the noise as nothing more than simple classroom sounds that cannot be prevented. I could not help but be annoyed after I isolated a…

In the past few years, stories and cases of hearing loss became more and more often. “How and why is this happening?” was the question racing through the minds of people worriedly. Upon hearing this trendy topic, author Jennifer Dignan wrote an article named “Throw Away Your earbuds Now!”, and claims that the reason for hearing loss is answered in this article. This essay is focused and centralized on the subject of how she supports her postulate that the answer to this question is not only in…

Before a nurse practitioner assesses a client’s mental status from the client’s family’s concerns of possible mental decline, the practitioner should assess the patient’s hearing status. According to Jorgensen, Palmer, Pratt, Erickson, and Moncrieff (2016), “Confusion-life behaviors often concern family members and other caregivers; they may presume that the person has dementia and bias the diagnostic process toward dementia rather than hearing loss” (p. 312). A large portion of the Mini-Mental…

1. Based on the audiometric information, Taylor’s hearing loss is mild to severe hearing loss. Audiologists are not only got information from the audiometric test, but also the medical or family history. If Taylor’s family members had severity hearing loss, Taylor might have a genetic hearing loss (at least 50%). On the other hand, the past medical history may reveal risk factors for hearing loss. Therefore, the role of an audiologist is understanding patient’s hearing background before doing…
